Just a few items occurred while you were with Christmas activities:
Playstation and XBOX Live networks were down by a DDOS attack. (Distributed Denial of Service) attributed to Lizard Squad.

Playstation is part of Sony Electronics. And its store was not loading as of 01:47EST 12/26/14
as you can see
So there are problems in Sony Land — Does this have to do with Sony releasing the Movie “The Interview”?
The movie may be bad (as critics say here) http://thehill.com/homenews/news/228085-critics-hate-the-interview !
But at least it is our movie to dislike – lots of theaters who showed the movie were very busy.
So we also got Rackspace DDOS which was restored after some time:
